COCKATIEL Pearl or Pied
Identification: Pearl Cockatiels have a unique feather pattern characterized by small, pearlescent spots or “pearls” on their feathers. These spots give them a speckled or mottled appearance. Pied Cockatiels, on the other hand, have patches of color on their body, with a mix of lighter and darker feathers. The amount and distribution of color can vary among individual birds.
Size/Weight: Cockatiels are small to medium-sized parrots, regardless of their color mutation. They typically measure around 12-14 inches (30-36 cm) in length, including their long tail feathers. The weight of a Cockatiel ranges between 2.5-3.5 ounces (70-100 grams).
Lifespan: With proper care, Cockatiels can live for 15-20 years or even longer. Providing a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and a stimulating environment can contribute to their longevity.
Breeding: Breeding behaviors and patterns are similar for all Cockatiel color mutations. They typically lay a clutch of 4-6 eggs, which are incubated by the female for about 18-21 days. Both parents participate in feeding and caring for the chicks until they fledge, which usually occurs around 4-5 weeks after hatching.
Diet and Feeding: Cockatiels, regardless of their color mutation, have similar dietary requirements. They thrive on a varied diet consisting of seeds, pellets, fresh fruits, vegetables, and occasional treats like millet sprays. Providing a balanced diet is crucial for their overall health and well-being. Fresh water should always be available. Cockatiels are known for their friendly and sociable nature. They enjoy interacting with their human companions and can be trained to perform tricks or mimic sounds. Providing them with toys, perches of different sizes, and regular out-of-cage time for exercise is essential for their mental and physical stimulation.

EURASIA Goldfinch X Canary Hybrid (Female)
Identification: The Eurasian Goldfinch x Canary hybrid, also known as a mule, is a crossbreed between a male Eurasian Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) and a female Canary (Serinus canaria). The appearance of the hybrid can vary depending on the specific traits inherited from each parent. In the case of a female hybrid, she may exhibit a combination of features from both species, such as a mix of colors, patterns, and body shape.
Size/Weight: The size and weight of a Eurasian Goldfinch x Canary hybrid female can vary, but generally, they are similar in size to a regular Eurasian Goldfinch, measuring around 4.7 to 5.1 inches (12 to 13 cm) in length and weighing approximately 0.4 to 0.6 ounces (11 to 17 grams).
